[Intro – Spoken / Whispered]
Aisle 9.
Frozen dinners.
She said, “Hey.”
And I forgot how to breathe.
🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
[Verse 1]
I saw her by the cereal, lookin’ like a dream
Same black boots, same ripped-up jeans
She smiled like nothin’ ever went wrong
But my chest caved in like a wrecked love song
She said, “How’ve you been?” with that crooked grin
I said, “Still fucked up, still wearin’ thin”
We laughed too loud, like we used to do
But the silence after hit like déjà vu
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Old thoughts, like knives in my brain
She smelled like heartbreak and summer rain
I wanted to scream, I wanted to stay
But I just said, “Yeah, I’m okay”
---
[Chorus]
Old thoughts in a checkout line
She touched my arm and I lost my spine
I swore I was over it, swear I was fine
But she said my name and I crossed that line
Old thoughts like a car crash kiss
She said, “You look good,” and I tasted bliss
I paid for my shit, didn’t say goodbye
Now I’m screaming her name to the sky
---
[Verse 2]
She asked if I still write those songs
I said, “Only when the pain’s too strong”
She laughed and said, “That sounds like you”
And I bled inside like I always do
She grabbed a bottle of cheap red wine
I remembered nights when that was mine
She said, “I’m happy now,” and I said, “Cool”
But my heart played dead like a goddamn fool
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Old thoughts, like ghosts in my bed
She smiled and the past filled my head
I wanted to run, I wanted to cry
But I just said, “Take care, alright?”
---
[Chorus]
Old thoughts in a checkout line
She touched my arm and I lost my spine
I swore I was over it, swear I was fine
But she said my name and I crossed that line
Old thoughts like a car crash kiss
She said, “You look good,” and I tasted bliss
I paid for my shit, didn’t say goodbye
Now I’m screaming her name to the sky
---
[Bridge – Screamed / Melodic Breakdown]
I hate that I still want her back
I hate that I still feel the crack
I hate that I still write her name
On every goddamn song I claim
[Guitar solo]
[Final Chorus – Stripped then Explosive]
Old thoughts in a checkout line
She touched my arm and I lost my spine
I swore I was over it, swear I was fine
But she said my name and I crossed that line
Old thoughts like a car crash kiss
She said, “You look good,” and I tasted bliss
I paid for my shit, didn’t say goodbye
Now I’m screaming her name to the sky

[Outro – Spoken / Fading Echo]
Aisle 9.
Frozen dinners.
She said, “Hey.”
And I still haven’t healed.
